How To Connect

On this page, we explain how to connect to Satellite CCRMA over the Ethernet cable.

Mac OS X

If you are using Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) you need to install XQuartz so that XWindows will work. Prior versions (10.5+) have XWindows installed by default.

Go to System Preferences, select Network, and choose the Ethernet module. Write down your current settings in case you think that you might need them in the future. (For example, if you use Ethernet to connect to the Internet in your dormitory, you probably want to save these settings for when you go home.) Now change your Ethernet settings to the following:

Configure: Manually

IP Address: 192.168.105.105

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

The remaining items such as Router, DNS Server, and Search Domains can be left blank for now, and click the Apply button in the bottom right to apply the settings.

If your laptop is currently connected to the Internet using some method other than Ethernet: It can be convenient to enable the Beagleboard to get onto the Internet. Internet Sharing will not work on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), so skip this step on those systems. Go back to System Preferences and choose Sharing. Edit the settings so that your Internet connection is shared with the Ethernet port. In order to do this, you may have to disable Internet Sharing temporarily. Finally, click the Internet Sharing checkbox to enable this option.

You will use the Terminal program to login to Satellite CCRMA over the Ethernet connection.

You will also need a program called X11. Check if this program is already installed. In most recent version of OS X, X11 is installed by default in either the Applications folder or the Utilities folder, but in older versions it was necessary to install it from the Developer Tools CD. No matter what, if you cannot find the X11 program on your Mac, download it from here.

Now open up a window in Terminal. Your Satellite CCRMA kit should choose the IP address 192.168.105.106. To check that it is visible type the command ping 192.168.105.106, and see how fast the network response is. Once you are satisfied, hit Control-C to quit ping. Then, to finally login to Satellite CCRMA, type

In the notification area on your desktop panel, click the NetworkManager Applet icon. Select the connection you just created. You now should be able to ssh into the board by typing ssh -XY ccrma@192.168.105.106 in a terminal. The password is temppwd
